The whole KC payments has me worried though. He gets 3 mill per year to do nothing.

I did hear that if he hired on somewhere, he would get the difference between his salary and the 3 million.

If we paid him 1 mill, KC would have to fork over 2 mill.

...precisely why it won't be him either.

I was listening to Mike & Mike this morning and they had SP on. He, of course, commented on the DC search, intimating they had sought permission to talk to a couple of other team's position coaches... and that by the end of next week there would likely be a decision on a new DC. IMHO, it'll be either a college DC or an assistant from some other team.

I dont think teams want that attitude.

That isn't an attitude, it is a contract... Which translates to a two year contract from the Saints for 1.5m a year, KC pays him 1.5mm a year for the next two years also.

UNTIL Romeo Crennel says (in a cartman voice) "screw you guys i am staying home".. He is wanting to work.

I do not get all this love for him? Dallas D was not all that great ever during his time there. Not with all the picks playing D there.
i just do not get it. roll the dice and go with an up and comer please.

In hs defense (pun intended) the Cowboys were a top 5 defense before numerous injuries set in. They lost 7 starters to injury. Losing seven starters is not insignificant at all.

They still finished 14th overall even with all those injuries.

I wonder how we'd have done if our defense finished middle of the pack?
